Sports people: Doug Baldwin, Deion Sanders

The Seahawks' wide receiver offered his input on headline-making teammate Richard Sherman's transition from wide receiver to cornerback while both played for Stanford: "To be honest, when (Sherman) first switched over, he was awful. He was terrible. He couldn't backpedal, he couldn't track the ball, and he didn't really try to quick jam, because he would get lost at the line of scrimmage. We had wonderful coaches at Stanford. They kind of honed his skills, made him focus more on the details and then when he got here, he kind of blossomed into the amazing defensive back that he is now."

The Hall of Famer and Pro Bowl captain came to the defense of a woman who ran on the field in Honolulu during Sunday's game and frolicked about before being caught by security. Katrina Torres had a cause, though: She did it for a cousin named Gary who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident and always dreamed of attending the Pro Bowl. Torres - who had "I did it for Gary" written on her back - said Sanders told security, "Don't arrest her. That (tribute) was really cool. If you arrest her, I'm gonna bail her out right now." No arrest was made, but Torres was banned from the stadium for a year.
